#Olivia tattoo

[twopoppies]

Hi Gina, hope you’re doing well.

I have been on and off out of the fandom last two years and (luckily) missed the insanity when it became known that Harry has a new tattoo that people assumed to be “Olivia”. Now, I just discovered this new tattoo like five minutes ago, and I did not see any definite conclusion that this has been debunked. I am a graphic designer that specializes in typography and I can assure you that it does not say Olivia, but “Olma”. I will look into the actual font at a later time, but knowing how these cursive fonts work, you can clearly see the “m”, as the lines have a round bend at the top, rather than it being more angular when it would be the “ivi”. (the “v” could have more of a round bend, but the “i” for sure would be angular) If you want, I can show some examples later.

Maybe this has been debunked already, dunno, but wanted to add my opinion into the void. Ignore this if not relevant!

Hi darling. I'm so sorry you had to stumble on that nonsense. It hasn't been officially debunked, but it certainly has been discussed A LOT, and the idea that it says Olma was one of the theories.

I think the main reason it hasn't been accepted as fact is that we can't figure out why he would choose to tattoo that word. But I was just looking up the town of Olma in Italy and look how many people live there. 🤣 You literally can't make this shit up.

Anyway, I really do think it says Olma and not Olivia. And I think the main reason we didn't see it until we did (after his tour ended and long after Holivia ended) was because it doesn't actually say Olivia. I still believe the theory that he agreed to a tattoo instead of something else she was pushing for that was more distasteful to him (maybe an engagement). And then he wormed around it by having it actually say Olma but waited until the stunt was long over, so he got away with it. The world thinks it says Olivia. But, as you say, if you look closely at the font, it really doesn't.

what are your thoughts about Harry's new tattoo?

Hi darling.

I am not going to lie: I’ve been upset about it for three days now, swinging back and forth between being super angry and trying to be okay with it. I thought about not answering this, because I don’t want to open this Pandora’s box, but I decided to in the hopes that I can help someone else. I won’t be answering follow up questions/reactions, though. That’s my boundary.

Now, I think the important thing is to call this out for what it is and stop making excuses: it’s an Olivia tattoo, and whether it’s for a stunt, a cat, a house, the One Direction song, an unknown godchild, it doesn’t matter. He has it, he showed it off (rather purposefully), he knew what we would think and the kind of debate/restlessness it would spark.

Can I forgive him for that, point blank, without further reasoning or rationalizing? I’ve decided I can.

Why? Because I don’t think it negates all he’s given me these past thirteen years and especially this last leg of tour, and because I don’t think what he does for PR and/or to protect his closet is a statement about who he is as a human being. No one has to agree with me. It’s a decision I’ve made for myself and I’m happy with it. If this is your red line (and I fully encourage you to ask yourself this regularly) then that’s fine. Grieve the person you thought he was and take steps to distance yourself from what hurts you. I don’t mean to minimize this: walking away is hard as shit. But he will be okay, I promise. The person who needs to be okay the most is you.

Do I think they really dated/that he was in love with her? No.

Why? Because he looked miserable every time he was around her, because he took very clear steps to ensure she wasn’t tied to his music (which I’ve noticed he holds pretty sacred above all), and because at the end of the day he still broke up with her two days after his very public last contractual obligation was filled and kissed her friend extremely publicly.

Can you find ways to argue around that? Of course you can. You can find ways to argue around anything. But for me, that’s not how you treat someone you’re in love with even if they’ve pissed you off beyond belief and messed with your career. Nothing Harry has done outside of this stunt shows me he would treat people he cares about that way, even in his worst moments. It’s incongruous to everything I’ve seen and known of him and his character in the last thirteen years. I may not know him personally, and I may be wrong about him, but again, that’s my conclusion and I’m happy with it.

Do I think the tattoo means something’s in the works to rekindle the stunt? I truly don’t know.

But if it is, then it’s been planned for a long, long, long time (he had the tattoo during Daylight filming, which is May 2022; the BUA was Nov 2022), and there’s nothing I can do about it. It is what it is.

I’ve always preached being okay with not knowing, being okay with being uncomfortable, and this is certainly making me walk the talk.

The bottom line is: Am I okay with the things I have answers to? Yes.

Am I okay with the thing I don’t have answers to? I am working on it.

But that’s my responsibility, not Harry’s.

— FIN —

*thank you, Gina, for your contributions to clearing my head and for many of the phrases I used here to express myself.

am i the only one who doesn't see olivia 😬 i definitely don't see "via" in the end it's more like "na" to me especially considering it's cursive so in that case the tattoo says "olina" and it's a city in italy and that option makes much more sense lol

I appreciate the effort of everyone trying to be rational about this bullshit, but the thing for me is that I clearly see Olivia there, it could be Olives, it could be Olina, it could be Gemma’s dead cat Olivia… but like, c’mon. It’s the same as saying Louis’ E tattoo is for Edward and not Eleanor. The tattoo is there with an intention, he’s not stupid, he wouldn’t *accidentally* write something that looks like Olivia. I have no idea if he was supposed to show the tattoo earlier or whatever just happened there, but like I said before, I really don’t give a fuck because she’s gone. And it’s annoying because he knows how messy it is and how that would upset a lot of us, because OF COURSE he’s displaying his new(ish) tattoo wearing bluegreen and his Louie shirt, so like. It’s the same as always for me, both of them have been playing this game with us for a while now… and they’re going to keep doing it because it’s convenient for everyone.

I understand people are super upset over it, but I’m so done with all this stunt shit coming from all sides, so I just decided that I can’t give a fuck anymore, I’m enjoying the good parts they’re giving us and ignoring the rest otherwise I’d have to step back 🤷‍♀️

[awesomefringey]

That tattoo does not say Olivia. Looks like olista or something

Whatever it is, I hate that I can’t enjoy leg content the way I used to. 😒

Pr harries like imposter are still in denial about the olivia tattoo on harry’s thigh! 💀

They still believe it’s fake!

There is no debate after Lloyd posted this, but of course manipulative cult leaders like Imposter are still telling their illiterate teenage followers that 2 + 2 = 5.

[niamflopped]

Oh no Larries and PR hags! Looks like Harry got Olivia's name tattooed right up near his groin.

[mychampagne-mybubbles]

Has this icky (whatever it’s for) tattoo changed your opinion on whether he is lgbtq+? Of course he can still be that and attracted to women, I just never (personally) really found it believable that he was. He’s always read gay to me. The tattoo really threw me for a loop. 😕

Hi there,

No, never. For me these things never get into the bases of “who” I have pictured & built up he is. It triggers me on his (business) approaches, lets say on “how” he behaves or “what” choices he make. What are his limits? Does he have them?

It drives me crazy observing how this fandom loves him deeply, sometimes probably people are too involved, and instead of trying to switch the old trashy tools & narrative, maybe sacrificing a bit of success & popularity by going smoothly, nicely and kindly; how things go with H, leads you to believe he is a victim, not an industry victim but the slavery kind. Something that turns sometimes into “toxic”. I know this is not about us, fans, but the situation gets a bit ugly, in this particular case, when he has looked mad, sad and miserable by her and now you have to question if he was in such a bad shape as he pretended… because who would get a huge tattoo of a colleague at work that makes your life a literal pain, right? (Wont even go into de Larry hipes during that same period)

So it’s more this path that I am walking.

If Harry is gay and has ever liked a woman, or had some het experience or feel attraction for some… We won’t know and it doesn’t really matter

There are only so many posts about unstanning Harry for the “Olivia” tattoo (in between quotation marks cuz I won’t believe it till I see a HQ version of it, sorry not sorry) that I can take lol

So here are two things you’re all forgetting about:

1. he’s a MAAAAN, idc how much lgtbiq+ flags and treat people with kindness he throws around, at the end of the day he’s part of the male population of this planet 😀

2. You’re literally talking about the same guy who got “won’t stop till we surrender…” tattooed near the star one after breaking up with TS in 2013 (now covered up by different tattoos) while she still has the Temper Trap autograph she was planning to gift him for his birthday in her very own kitchen.

I mean- 😀

you guys need to chill, c’mon 😭. We, foremost, have no idea what went on between Harry and Olivia. Are you all forgetting they dated for TWO years?? 😭😭😭 easily the longest relationship he’s ever been in, plus he took her with him on tour and stuff every chance he got sooooooooooo

y’all would literally and figuratively DIE if that was your name tattooed on his thigh (ik I would) so why boo him so much about it just because apparently it’s some other woman’s name instead?????

Zayn got Gigi’s eyes on his chest and prior to that a mini version of Perrie tattooed on his arm and all I remember was people saying “aww how cute” both times 😀

be for real right now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[violets-are-the-answer]

alright, here are my thoughts on Harry's new tattoo.

it almost certainly does say Olivia, there's not much of a question there. however, as many people are saying, it's not necessarily about Olivia Wilde. First of all, one of the one direction songs that he wrote is called Olivia. this is a popular theory running around right now.

but also, do you know how many people are named Olivia??

so fucking many. i kid you not, the other day i was at a meeting for a school function and the speaker said "you guys know Olivia?" and like ten people immediately asked "which one?" i go to a small school, no more than 90 per grade, and i know three Olivia's within my grade alone.

my point is, we're not privy to much of harry's personal life, and there could easily be someone named Olivia that he got a tattoo for that has nothing to do with romance.

[caralara]

Any thoughts on why they waited to show the Olivia tattoo now and not back then?

no idea tbh and I don’t really care anymore about Harry’s stunting besides watching that wreck crash and burn lmao

[twopoppies]

Since the subject of H's tattoo came up, I've always thought this theory of what it really says makes the most sense... We probably will never know since H more than likely will never address it, but I choose to believe this over him getting that horrid woman's name tattooed on him.

I think with more time and distance from the original reveal, this makes a lot of sense. They definitely meant it to look like Olivia, but the way the “V” connects to the “I” is weird because it normally would have a little loop at the top. But an “M” wouldn’t. Harry definitely had a connection to Lake Como/Lombardy etc. Not sure what Olma means to him, specifically, but it is the best explanation I’ve seen.

Sorry to cut off the OP’s url. It didn’t fit in the screen shot. But you can find it here: x

[annoyingyellowhouse]

I’m gonna go with ”He was drunk and lost a bet”

[awesomefringey]

Sometimes when I look at it I see olina, other times I see olivia... tbh I just don't care anymore if he tattooed that name it's not my body and that "relationship" is over so

The thing is Harry is like zero affected by what it reads. 🤷‍♀️

This is what he sees in the mirror:

This is what he sees looking down on himself:

[niamflopped]

A clear view.

Is it a coincidence that this news came out today after yesterday's sh*t??? 🙄
